After church, I was able to grab a couple of hours this afternoon in my sewing room, working on my little quilt. The design is from Jo Morton's book Remembrances and it is the Peppermint Twist quilt. A few years ago, our Jo's Little Women group did a churn dash block exchange at a quilt retreat with Jo. I am finally getting something put together with my blocks. Since I changed from pink to red for my setting blocks, I decided to change the name to Cinnamon Twist. I'm loving the little flying geese border around the applique block!
Hopefully, I will have this done by the time we have our retreat in February. With all the cold, snowy weather we are having, I think it will happen!

Cinnamon Twist is a perfect name. Looking forward to seeing it done. Don't you love retreats....time to spend completely on quilting. You certainly have had a lot of changes in your life this past year. Enjoy the ride!
LOL! Actually it all happened in the last 10 years...I don't think I could have handled all of that in one year!
And yes, I love quilt retreats...no distractions, just me, my sewing machine, lots of fabric, good friends and food!
Hi Sharon, I just got your email but had no way to reply. Jump right in on the doll quilt! It sews up quickly and I won't be posting part 2 until Friday.
You were in a retreat with Jo Morton? You are one lucky lady. I am a huge fan of hers and have made many of her patterns. Love your cinnamon twist!
